Saglemi Housing Project: First 700 units to be ready by March 2027 — President Mahama

President John Dramani Mahama has expressed optimism that the Saglemi Housing Project, a long-delayed affordable housing initiative, will soon be completed and put into use by Ghanaian families. The first 700 units of the project are expected to be ready for commissioning by March 2027, with the remaining 1,500 units to follow by December of the same year.

During his inspection of the project site, Mahama confirmed that the developer, LMI Group, has committed to delivering 700 units by March 2027, with all 1,500 units slated for completion by December 2027. He expressed confidence in the project's revival after a period of abandonment due to government change, legal challenges, and extensive vandalism.

Mahama emphasized that the redevelopment of Saglemi will transform it into a modern and convenient residential community, providing decent accommodation for thousands of Ghanaian families. He urged residents to register promptly for the houses, noting their anticipated high demand due to the expanding industrial activities in the Tema and Dawa Industrial Parks.

In addition to the housing units, the project will benefit from improved infrastructure, including dualized roads, water and digital connectivity, and railway access. The project site will also receive surplus water from the Dawa Industrial Park's treatment plant, with excess capacity supporting the Tema Industrial Area.

Mahama stressed that Saglemi aligns with the government's broader vision of the Green Digital City, which extends from the corridor through Bundase, across the former military firing range towards the Volta Lake. The project will also be part of a nationwide housing program, with the Ministry of Housing planning to launch a District Housing Scheme, backed by GH¢500 million in the 2026 Budget.
